Have you ever done interval training to meet a fitness goal? Have you ever considered working in shorter sprints within the framework of your family and home calendar? That’s what I’ve been doing since the start of the school year, and I am loving it! This episode is all about how I’m implementing interval training with my personal/homeschool/home/family goals and calendars.

• My interval format:
  • For each interval:
    • Choose 1 habit to focus on
    • Choose 3 bigger projects to complete
      • List all of the action items that need to happen for that project to be considered done
      • Choose 1-2 tasks to complete from each project. Transfer those tasks to the large lined post-it weekly to-do list on my Daily Dashboard.
        • Transfer those tasks to Daily Top 3 Post-Its as they work with that day’s priorities
    • Choose 5 smaller action items to complete
      • Transfer action items to weekly to-do list and Daily Top 3 when they fit in
    • Make a plan for Sabbath week
      • Schedule a planning/review session
        • Put it on the calendar, and schedule it with your husband
        • What worked/what didn’t
        • Continue filling out next interval planning sheet
      • Appointments – pediatrician, eye doctor, internist, preventative care (colonoscopy, mammogram, OBGYN, dermatologist, etc.),
      • Friends
      • extended family
      • Nagging tasks/projects (example: swap out summer clothes for fall/winter clothes)
